Hi everyone.

Is this glue going to help me glue metal parts together? I will need this kind of glue for another project.

Yes it will glue metal to metal. But it has minimal bond strength, and will come apart if it gets wet. CA glue or Epoxy work much better and have far better bond strength.

CA is super glue.  Depending on the size of the pieces being glued, any brand should work, including the cheap little single use tubes at any big box or hardware store.  I personally like using Bob Smith Industries because it is at the LHS, but I am not above using the little squeeze tubes for photoetch parts if I need to.
